The Primordial Record

Chapter 1157: The Perfect Tool



The boy felt his soul being rapidly stitched together and then strengthened, the intense flow of power being pumped into his body sent him into the air, and the golden radiance he radiated began to awaken all the Blood blessed from their state of slumber, filling them with endless energy.

Their nearly mummified body was filled with golden radiance and those at the threshold of the next level broke through, and the overall power levels of their entire society took another step forward.

A moment before they had been aware that if they failed, none of them would be rising again, to see their bright golden sun once more meant that they had succeeded. The catastrophe had been broken, and they would live and prosper...

They all wanted to cheer but it felt almost strange to do so, they had no right to survive what they had just done, and it was hard to reconcile this fact in their head, but the figure of the massive glowing giant overhead and the absence of one of the golden suns was testament to the fact that among the Blood Blessed, a true powerhouse had arisen.

In the silence, a child asked, "Did we win?"

His voice carried and the golden giant who had just completed his ascension looked down and smiled, "We..."

The golden giant suddenly moved to the side while trying to bring up his arm but his reaction was stalled as Time grounded to a halt around him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A thin line of red and black swept past his neck and his massive head tumbled from his shoulders.

Lost, who reacted just as quickly as the golden giant, was surrounded by chains of red flames and blasted into the horizon, his screams of anger fading into the distance.

Shisu, Ascendant of the Third Dan stood upon the bloody stump of the golden giant neck and bathed under his golden blood, he grinned,

"They want to crucify me because I cleansed such a small corner of the realm, but look at all the maggots that I find hiding beneath the earth."

If he had expected panic from the crowd there was none, they only looked at the fallen giant waiting for him to stand tall once more, but when they saw that his head and neck were wrapped with a red energy that denied any resurrection, they simply began transforming into their golden giant form as they prepared for battle, their objective was to free the god-child from the poison bounding his body from rising.

They knew that was their only hope because they smelled the power of Hate flowing from the body of this Ascendant alongside his words that brought the understanding that it was he who had unleashed the devastation that nearly wiped away their society, if they were going to die, it would be on their feet.

Shisu smile faded as he looked at three billion golden giants charging at him without fear and his visage twisted into a horrifying snarl,

"What madness is this?" Shisu growled, at his level, it had been millions of years since he last knew anyone willing to stand against him. Even without flaring his Aura, his presence alone would make Ascendants tremble, unable to move, even reality itself obeyed his whims, and yet, these mongrels still charged at him?

Shisu had seen many surprising things during his lifetime and this one ranked near the top,

"They are glorious, are they not, my children of the Ouroboros."

A voice sounded beside Shisu and he reared around in shock, but there was no one around him. If the crowd charging at him before was shocking, someone who could speak beside him without his knowledge was alarming, and suddenly he realized that perhaps he had been too confident and foolish.

His father, an Ascendant Sun at the Fourth level of the Dan had been killed by this entity, and he had strolled into its backyard with no thought behind it, not even calling for backup or alerting the other Ascendant Suns.

Shisu took to the air, and then he froze, not because he wanted to, but because what he was witnessing was impossible and his surprise had made him stall in his plan for escape.

The moment he touched the golden giant that had banished his technique and shook the heavens he had instantly felt the incredible amount of vitality in his body, and the vastness of its soul, and he knew that for a soul that was so mighty, killing the giant would take careful considerations, due to the fact that he was not sure he could extinguish the soul in one blow, and if any part of such a mighty soul escapes, it could easily recreate its body in another location.

Imprisonment was the best option at this time, and this made him cut the giant in two and wrap his Will around every single cell in its body, turning it into a pile of meat he could torture and slowly kill at his leisure.

However, what made him pause was that he could feel every single piece of his Will being stripped from the cells of this giant. It was not consumed as had happened with his previous red sun technique, instead, it had been controlled in a manner that he could not understand.

It was then that the final piece of the puzzle clicked in Shisu's head and he nearly screamed in fright. This entire debacle started because the infinity bubble had been tampered with, his father had fallen and the Dan had become unreachable to anyone who wanted to ascend to a higher level.

Because he still had perfect control of his Will based powers and was not close to ever ascending to a higher level, he had automatically dismissed this problem, with his selfish nature, what did not directly affect him was no concern of his, and now he was suddenly realizing that the entity who could kill his father and prevent others from accessing the Dan, could easily take control of his own when he was in its presence.

His speed barely carried him a mile into the air before he stopped as if he had slammed into an impenetrable wall. In front of him was a man, made from red flames. He recognized this red flame because it was his Will that was no longer in his control.

The man at first did not even seem to notice him, instead he was looking at his hands from different angles, and from the glow in his eyes he was not admiring it, instead he was studying his new form.

Seemingly satisfied with what he had observed, the man looked at Shisu and he smiled,

"This Will of yours is... peculiar. You should know that you are not leaving this place alive." Shisu took a step back, "What are you?"

Cracking his neck the man made from red flames took a corresponding step forward, keeping the distance between them perfectly equal,

"I have been asked that question so many times in the past it is almost becoming annoying. I guess it is partly my fault and also that book, I have always been under the radar, but with my upcoming Ascension, I can no longer be hidden. It is a good thing that while in Doom Star, I will have the perfect tool."
